http://www.tvnewslies.org/tvnl/index.php/news/politics/36351-jeb-bush-missed-red-flags-in-florida-business-scandal.htmlThere were plenty of red flags surrounding the company Jeb Bush was planning to join: lawsuits, bad headlines, even previously convicted drug dealers in top positions.

But somehow Bush seemed to miss them all in 2007 as he prepared to join InnoVida as a $15,000-a month-consultant -- a position that would lead to board membership and stock options.

http://www.tvnewslies.org/tvnl/index.php/news/politics/36348-if-this-is-what-an-anti-war-presidency-looks-like-to-you-youre-detached-from-reality-.htmlNothing sums up the warped foreign policy fantasy world in which Republicans live more than when House Speaker John Boehner recently called Obama an “anti-war president” under which America “is sitting on the sidelines” in the increasingly chaotic Middle East.

If Obama is an anti-war president, he’s the worst anti-war president in history. In the last six years, the Obama administration has bombed seven countries in the Middle East alone and armed countless more with tens of billions in dollars in weapons. But that’s apparently not enough for Republicans. As the Isis war continues to expand and Yemen descends into civil war, everyone is still demanding more: If only we bombed the region a little bit harder, then they’ll submit.

http://www.tvnewslies.org/tvnl/index.php/news/politics/36285-supreme-court-alabama-may-have-illegally-packed-black-voters-into-legislative-districts-.htmlThe Supreme Court on Wednesday ruled that Alabama should reconsider the use of race in redistricting, siding with black lawmakers and Democrats in the state in throwing out a lower court’s decision.

In its second high-stakes decision dealing with the Voting Rights Act in two years, the high court ruled 5-4 in favor of African-American lawmakers who argued that the Republican-controlled Legislature packed thousands of black voters into existing majority-black state legislative districts to maintain a GOP-advantage in the other districts. But the ruling simply called the lower court’s decision “legally erroneous” and sent the case back to them without deciding whether Alabama’s redistricting plan was unconstitutional.

http://www.tvnewslies.org/tvnl/index.php/news/politics/36276-jeb-bush-had-another-email-account-while-florida-governor.htmlAs Florida governor, Jeb Bush used another, previously unreported email address, records show — the newest wrinkle in an evolving debate over public officials' use of private email accounts.

When Bush released thousands of emails from his tenure as Florida's governor as part of his preparations to run for president next year, he did so from the email account he shared openly, jeb@jeb.org.

http://www.tvnewslies.org/tvnl/index.php/news/politics/36274-ted-cruz-is-going-on-obamacare-as-wife-takes-goldman-sachs-leave-.htmlThe Goldman Sachs health insurance plan has lost a high profile customer. Texas Senator Ted Cruz is going on Obamacare. With his wife Heidi taking leave to help her husband campaign for president, the Cruzes are leaving the $20,000 per year coverage she enjoyed at Goldman.

"We will presumably go on the exchange and sign up for health care and we're in the process of transitioning over to do that," Cruz told the Des Moines Register's Jennifer Jacobs. "It is written in the law that members will be on the exchanges without subsidies just like millions of Americans... I think the same rules should apply to all of us."

http://www.tvnewslies.org/tvnl/index.php/news/politics/36264--factchecking-ted-cruz-2016-gop-candidate-for-president.htmlTexas Sen. Ted Cruz became the first major Republican candidate to declare himself officially in the 2016 presidential race. In announcing his presidential ambition,

Cruz repeated a number of dubious claims we have heard before, and a few we haven’t. Some highlights:

Cruz railed against a “government … that seeks to ban our ammunition.” The Obama administration sought to ban a certain type of armor-piercing bullet, not all types of ammunition. The proposal has since been postponed.

http://www.tvnewslies.org/tvnl/index.php/news/politics/36263-barack-obamas-top-aide-says-israeli-occupation-must-end-.htmlWhite House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough made clear in a speech to a left-leaning Israel advocacy group that President Barack Obama isn’t letting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu off the hook for his dismissal of a two-state solution.

That stance, as well as Netanyahu’s suggestion also made in the closing days before last week’s Israeli elections that he’d approved settlements in contested territory in Jerusalem for the strategic purpose of changing the borders are “so very troubling,” McDonough told J Street’s annual conference in Washington. He called the pro-Israel group, which opposes some of Netanyahu’s policies, “our partner.”

http://www.tvnewslies.org/tvnl/index.php/news/politics/36240-how-the-senate-republicans-letter-gave-iran-a-boost-in-nuclear-talks.htmlThe 47 Republican senators who wrote to Iranian leaders this month may have believed they were sabotaging the talks on a deal on Iran’s nuclear program, hoping it would exacerbate fears in Tehran that any such deal could be reversed by the next U.S. president.

No one knows how the talks will end, or which party will win the White House next year, but Iranian leaders most likely believe it has strengthened their negotiating position. That’s because this partisan stunt was old news when it arrived in Tehran. The Iranians were fully prepared for attempts of this sort to undermine the negotiations in which they have invested so much.

Chris Christie’s administration retaliated against the Democratic mayor of Jersey City.

The subpoena seeks records from a broad range of former authority officials regarding their interactions with Jersey City, according to a person familiar with the matter, including two Christie allies who resigned from the authority amid the George Washington Bridge lane closure scandal, David Wildstein and Bill Baroni.

http://www.tvnewslies.org/tvnl/index.php/news/politics/36216-obama-regrets-not-shutting-down-guantanamo-on-first-day.htmlPresident Barack Obama said Wednesday that he regrets not shutting down the U.S. Navy's prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba when he first arrived at the White House six years ago.

Obama made the remarks following an economic speech in Cleveland, where a seventh-grader asked what he regrets most about his presidency so far, the Washington Post reported.
